Red and retro! This AMAZING 2 bedroom apartment is centrally located in Old Southwest and is near everything (Carilion Medical Complex, Greenway System, Towers Mall, and walking distance to downtown). Previous tenant lived here 17 years; it's the kind of space you fall in love with.
This second story apartment has been freshly painted throughout. It has hardwood floors and ceiling fans in the dining room and living room. The living room, dining room, and master bedroom have electric wall sconces. The ceilings are 12' high in this classic beauty and there are window air conditioners in the dining room and master bedroom that cool the whole space.
The kitchen is a small galley kitchen, but it has plenty of storage space and a four-burner electric stove. The stacked washer/dryer is in a small room/closet off of the kitchen. Both of the bedrooms are also small, and one would be suitable for a home-office. The living space is enormous, the whole apartment is just over 900 sq. ft. There are beautiful views of the mountains from all of the southernly facing windows and the apartment gets substantial natural light all day long. There is also a storage area shown in the pictures that goes with this apartment.
